BAlMORAL CASTLE.
Sights to He Seen In Queen Victoriat
Northern Summer Residence.

Sights to he Seen In Queen victoria's
Northern Summer Residence.
Balmoral Castle, Queen Victoria's
northern home, as hunting residence
is, perhaps, unrivaled. The palace
stands beside the MOST delightful of
highland salmon streams, and on the
fringe of the finest of grouse moors
and deer fosests; and the eagle still
"comes forth on the wings of the
storm" from the crags and corries of
the adjacent mountain. Its walls and
towers and turrets of the hard native
granite are as bright and beautiful to-
day as they were thirty years ago. A
century more will not dwarf their fine
proportions nor dim the luster of their
clean, if cold, gray color.
Within as without the castle is
fraught with interest The domestic
and the regal are blended into one. In
the decoration of the vestibule and stair
case the sculptor's art vies with the
spoils of the hunting field. Here is
cozy drawing-room upholstered in Vic
toria tartan, and with mantel-shef
of polished gray granite, from Bulbs
law quarries, Aberdeen. There is a
spacious dining-room, with Royal
Stuart tartan hangings, walls adorned
with pictures of the chase, and having
a mantel-shelf of polished red granite
from Stirlinghlll quarries, Peterhead.
The ball-room-the scene of so many
Highland assemblies during the early
married life of the Queen-presents
curious illustration of what M. Taine
has facetiously described as the En-
glishman's overmastering desire ito
kill something" for, like the ''sylvap
hall" of the Douglas,
All around, the walls to grace,
Hang trophies Of the fight or chase.
Nowhere throughout the castle is
there any unnecessary display, yet all
is chaste and tasteful
One of the most remarkable things
about the art decorations of the castle
is the absence of paintings With the
exception of two small oval-framed
portraits of peruked male members Of
"the royal Stuart line," 10th of which
had adorned the walls of the old man.
sion which gave place to Baimoral
Castle, there is not painting-nor oil

MY MOTHERS FACE.

There is one face of all the world
The fairest face to me,
Fairer than any artists dream
OF angel face could be.
see 1t in my dreams at night;
see 1t in the day;
The glory OF that angel smile
Lights all my weary way.
When but little wayward child
lsought my perfect rest,
My tired head pillowed peacefully
Upon my mothers breast.
That same sweet face above me bent;
That smile upon me shone;
And now into my inmost soul
Its peacefulness has grown.
The fairest maiden In the world
Is not SO sweetly fair;
see her with her glossy bands
OF silver-sprinkled hair,
That fall in parted ripples down
Beside the tranquil brow,
The blessing from her calm, brown eyes
Is with me even now.
feel upon my fevered brow
The touch Of her cool hand;
hear the music of her voice,
hear and understand
IT'S she who guides me tenderly
With wisdom pure and strong;
feel her chiding when my heart
Turns willfully to wrong
My work is in the busy world,
Life's hurry and turmoil;
Her home is where the blessed rest
From all their earthly toll.
But in my life her presence lives
To light each desert place;
o! memory blest and beautiful
My angel mothers face.

Devoted Friend and Supporter.
The Governor of Arkansaw is some
times forced to entertain peculiar Wis
itors. The other day an old fellow
from Gray Bayou called on him, and
although he at once began to speak of
the great prospects of the State, his
actions showed so clearly that he had
not touched upon the subject which
prompted the visit, that the Governor
asked
"Can do any thing for you ?"
"Wall. now, you talk so much like a
